Blog summary:
Today, we celebrate ten years since IBM put the first quantum computer on the cloud, opening real hardware to a global community.
Cloud access helped turn quantum computing from a niche research pursuit into a growing, real‑world industry.
A decade of progress has delivered major advances in hardware and software, from early demos to 156‑qubit systems and a mature programming stack.
Most lasting is the human impact: the early users of cloud-accessible quantum computers are now the developers, founders, and partners shaping the field’s future.
